Jon Lord talks to Rick Wakeman

Jon Lord has filmed an interview with Rick Wakeman. The one-hour show covers a wide selection of topics including tales of Deep Purple’s first appearances on US television in 1968, Jon Lord’s classical solo works and his friendship with George Harrison.

Watch JonLord.org’s exclusive trailer for the show:

In their light hearted conversation the two keyboard meastros also exchange views on working with symphony orchestras and touring Japan in the early 70s.

Awesome interview Jon. I traveled from San Francisco to London, then to Hampton Court to see Rick Wakeman perform his epic “Six Wives of Henry the VIII” at the castle, May 2, 2009. The show was spectacular with orchestra, choir, 5 piece band including Wakeman’s son Adam, and Brian Blessed as narrator to tell the story of Henry and his six wives.
